Apples are cooked with raisins and a hint of cinnamon while walnuts added to the crumble mixture to make this a real crunchy apple crumble. One of those comforting desserts, perfect for a winter’s day, and served with lots of cream.

Peel, core and thickly slice the apples. Then place them in a large bowl.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon, add to the apples and toss to coat.

Now add the raisins, separating those that may have stuck together, and toss to evenly distribute.

Grease the ovenproof dish and then tip in the apples. Sprinkle over 4 tablespoons of water, cover the dish with foil, and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes. Turn over the apple slices halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the oven, turn the slices over again, and set aside for about 1 hour to cool.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), (gas 6).

To prepare the crumble, finely chop the walnut pieces and then set to one side.

Rub the butter into the flour and then stir in the walnuts. The mixture should look like large breadcrumbs.

Mix in the sugar and then spoon the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apples.

Bake for 30 minutes until the crumble is browning and the juices are starting to bubble through.

Serve with a jug of cream.

Welcome to my blog

My lifetime collection of recipes, gathered while living in the U.K. and North America.

They are written to work wherever you live. They will now be shown in grams, ounces and cups, and any differences in the names of ingredients will still be mentioned. (Flour has been measured by lightly spooning it into the cup, rather than scooping and levelling it directly from the container.)

It will take me a little while to add the cups to those already on the blog, so please bear with me – I will get to them all.
